The pub owned by Dumbledore's brother Aberforth in the village of Hogsmeade is home to another animatronic in the film. The hog's head inside the tavern is a full-size silicon-skinned animatronic which was operated through the wall by technicians. Created as an alternative to three computer-generated wolf heads, which director David Yates originally wanted, the hog's head took a month to complete. Every hair on it has been individually punched in by hand.
